Smerit is "sendable merit" on the forum and is merit that is able to be spent on other users' posts that you think are good quality.
You'll find a "+merit" button on posts and can press that to award a user with merit.
You can't award more than 50 at once and there's a limit of 50 per user per month.
You get 0.5 smerit for every merit you recieve but they'll only come in whole numbers. (so 1 smerit for every 2 merit you recieve).

What is Merit and sMerit?
You have Merit and sendable Merit (sMerit). sMerits can only be send, they have no other purpose and hoarding them is pointless. When someone gives Merit to you they lose sMerit of the amount transferred and you gain Merit as well as sMerit (which in case you can send again).

For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank. Of that, a certain amount (less than the usual half) is spendable. The spendable amount was calculated based on your current rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.
If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.
There are stats here, and you can find someone's merit summary by clicking the "merit" link on their profile.

I saw these from a post made by zilon, so I don't have ideas from the post I decides to ask, so that will understand.
Please I'm getting confused here, what's Smerit, because everybody is pointing finger at Smerit, what's Smerit all about?
